Let me start by saying sorry for being so long-winded..
I have a 97 SJ with a 62T/62T set up. Guy I bought it from had a 760 in it, it blew, so he replaced it with a full 62T setup. I have dual 38's, B-pipe with limited chamber, TDR waterbox, grate and ride plate, Skat impeller (forget pitch), lowered pole bracket, kickers, tubbie destroyers, along with some more bolt-ons.. I've ridden a buddies Q8 with a SP 750 and bolt-ons, the ski pulled very hard on bottom end. My SJ really only hits hard up top at about 1/2 throttle and up..
Question: Im down to about 140lbs in each hole, and have different options/routes I can go. I'd like to hear from someone who has experience riding these different setups and can give actual comparisons, not just preferences.
1. Rebuild current 62T topend
2. Ive heard of people getting a smaller base gasket, lowering ports, raising comp, on current 62T
3. 61X cylinder to drop on
4. 64X 760 top end
5. Big Bore 61X cylinder (would port also if doing that much work)
6. BB 62T cyl. (port also)
7. Rebuild 62T and have it ported
8. Look for ported 61X
9. look for 760 cyl. and have it ported.
10. Look for full 61x/61x motor swap
11. With whatever combo I use, mill stock head, or use my WestCoast blue aftermarket head.
Please keep in mind, I am building a 750 Flatdeck X2, and cost is a pretty big factor. Would like to hear experiences, had trouble getting concrete details about these setups. THANKS
